Your MoveSafe Healthy Posture and Movement Newsletter

WHAT IS THE BEST MATTRESS, PILLOW AND SLEEPING POSITION?

Sleep is meant to help you recover after a long day; but depending on the kind of mattress or pillow you have or the position you chose to sleep in, it could be leading you closer to injury instead of revitalizing you for the day ahead. The last article in our sleep series, which focuses on sleep ergonomics, will help you learn more about how to pick a mattress that supports your body in all the right places, which type of pillow is best for your sleeping style, and what sleeping position puts you at the greatest risk of injury.

SLEEP ERGONOMICS

TEENAGERS AND DEVICES

It’s a commonly held belief that teenagers are glued to their cellphones. Most articles written about teenagers and mobile devices focus on the mental health effects of cellphone usage, but there are also negative physical outcomes. Teenagers are spending upwards of 7hours/day on their phones and if they do this with poor posture they are at risk of developing upper body injuries. Learn some tips and tricks that our own Mandy Gallant has used to help her teenagers prevent ‘Text Neck’!

MEET THE TEAM - TANA BULLOCK

Tana has been a part of the MoveSafe team for over a decade and is our lead for office ergonomics assessments and services in the greater Vancouver area. Her background in Disability Management helps her understand the consequences of sustained unhealthy posture and movement habits. Tana is focused on applying her knowledge to help prevent injury to avoid the unwanted circumstance of having employees struggle to return to normal work and home life.

Tana enjoys the preventative aspect of her work that allows her to combine her Kinesiology education and coaching skillset. She educates her clients on their workstation set-up as well as teaches them the proper posture and movement habits necessary for working in the latest office environments.

When she is not politely nagging folks about proper posture and teaching them how to (finally) set up their office chair, Tana is probably out running or shuttling her kids to and from their many extra-curricular activities.
